My Treasure - Johnny Cash
Lyrics by:Johnny Cash
I saved a lot of money my fortune was untold
And like a fool I idealized my silver and my gold
My earthly treasure's mounted but
When I counted through
I realized the treasure I had overlooked was you
My treasure unmeasured but forsaken
Of the treasures
That come from above
My treasure unmeasured but it
Don't hold a heart of the one that I love
If I had my life before me if
I could see it all
I'd stake my claim on things that
Are secured against downfall
I'd work for earthly treasures
Like any man would do
But I set my sights much higher
And I'd be sure that I had you
My treasure my treasure unmeasured unmeasured
But forsaken
Of the treasures
That come from above
My treasure unmeasured but it
Don't hold a heart of the one that I love
